there is a population cap on a planet of about 20 million x (PQ + 1)^3 or something like it, whatever farm you put on the planet.

Reply to At the mercy of reviewers in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Maybe the english's reviews are mostly dones, but I am still waiting for www.jeuxvideo.com to take out a french review. As I remember, they said high praise about GC1 (which incited me to download the demo, and the demo conviced me to buy the game, which I sporadicly played for over 3 years. The best 30$ spent on a game). Do you plan on translating the game in french any time soon? Specially if you can create a french version of StarDock to download the game, and can convince the majo

Nasa doesnt build more space shuttles when our construction industry slows down... No, but the U.S. build more weapons when the industry slows down. Which is Military spending.. Anyway, I feel that I am split between the #2-3-4. 4, because I often come up with some crazy idea about new system in the game (cycled trade routes,

For peoples with management difficulties in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I always though usefull, when I begin to specialize my colonies (and play with a LOT of planet) to always mark every colony names with a letter before the Colony's name. M = Money Colony R = Research F = Factory I = Influence Helps a lot when you wonder "what did I wanted to do with this planet?"

- If a 2d map is 60 x 60, then by no way the 3d map would also be 60x60x60! Too much stuff! When you get to the3rd dimension, I guess the good things would be to create a sphere with about 40 sectors of diameter. You know, so that the map wouldn't be "that" big, but it would give a 3d feel. After all, it would be kinda cool/weird to be in the MIDDLE of 8 empires, from all axis! - (I know it's off-topic, but what do you think of "same turn"?)

Reply to The galaxy isn't flat in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

It would be a lot better if we had a 3d map (and circular. When you reach the top-layer, you get to the bottom-one). The difference between zoomed-in and zoomed-out would be much the same than Homeworld's. It's not "that" difficult to consider, after all. "Sphere of influence" would be real-spheres. Now, that is something I have never seen: a 4X game in 3d. (2-morrow, 1 great game) (And while we are on the topic of weir

I still happen to beat the AI with my faster hunting pack of 4 frigates, 2 Warp engines and ONLY weapons on each. At the first hits in a war, this is the best strategy. The AI did not adapted to your weaponry, so it defenses are low, and you can usually wipe most of its fleet in the first strike. After, even if they hit you, they don'T hold for long. Never underestimate first strike. Like AD&D: Initiative is the key to close-call battles Until they use adapted d

after conquering a Drengin World with a custom race (United Federation, used one of the new logo! , the conquered world had a HUGE population, too huge to be even possible, with 100% approval rating, and all.. (and counting 75000 bcs of taxes).. I only cheated once in this game, and it was ages ago, for a +10 000 bc, so I don't think it the bug's reason. The next week, the planet *only* had 17billions of population (kn

Reply to What do the other MOO2 fanatics think of GC2? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

But the thing that really gets me, the thing that I can't get over, is the effete tech tree. All the improvements are buffs on existing abilities, you never get any new ones. Going to the top of the beam tech tree means you have a bigger version of the exact same thing at the bottom. Big whoop. Instead of getting 50x 1 beam you get 1 x 50beam. YAWN. No range increase, n

I agree 100%, the one that bothers me the most are Altarians. They always want to go on a "rightgeous crusade" on the weakest evil civ around. Or they like to gang up on me, with the other good civs.. arg. I just loved it when the Torian surrendered to the Drengin, at the last game. Now, instead of being neighbour of only me and the Torian, they were sorrounded by my and my closest ally

If they keep the same rate of improvement than they did from 1 to 2, I have NO objection on letting them 2 to 3.. then 3 to 4. But then, if they ever improve that far, the AI will takeover the (real) world to not loose anymore...

2 things (one I mentionned in another post, but no one seemed to answer) 1: I want a Mapbrush, like Blizzard made for Starcraft. You can not only paint a map and choosing starting positions, but you could also customize the building already built, the # of technology already researched, the ships already on the map, etc.. And creating "mission objective" would be a must. Let's do more than "star with a colony ship + a planet + a survey vessel and conquer the galaxy". You could create

Consumed Crustacean (strange name) got a point there. But maybe, indeed, there should be some in-game limits according to your party. After all, how could a Technologist party reduce its research below 25%? Or a Pacifist party leader declare war? or a Mercantile party leader leave U.P.?
